Real tax rate
36.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.2% tax rate now rises to 36.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make ₦7,470,000 a year living in Nigeria, you will be taxed ₦2,180,906. That means that your net pay will be ₦5,289,094 per year, or ₦440,758 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.2% and your marginal tax rate is 32.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of ₦100 in your salary will be taxed ₦31.98, hence, your net pay will only increase by ₦68.02.
